ooc: Sorry for crappy post.

It was strange how the weather was some times. One moment it would be fine, then the next a storm rolls in. Loccian didn't mind it, as long as she was in her den or any den, but it was only a problem once it caught her while being outside. Why was she thinking this? Well, when the snow storm finally died down the shewolf was able to move through it and find her way back to Seracia, but she was a bit down when she returned because she wasn't able to find Bane. He was nice company and she wanted to make sure he was okay but found no signs of him. A light sigh escaped her jaws, eyelids closing. She sat at the edge of a lake in the eastern part of Seracian territory. She was glad that Winter would be ending soon, the snow was becoming an annoyance and making her more irritable. Something she did not like. Luckily for her nothing had annoyed her today, the morning was running smoothly and she had left Reficul and Augustus sleeping soundly in their stall.

It was late morning when the grey Seracian male came into the packs territory after that snowstorm that had separated him for a she-wolf named Loccian yesterday night. He had talked to another packmate Aeil after he had awoken from a snow-covered?sleep. Bane couldn't quite remember what he had talked to her about.

Perhaps Loccain was back at the cluster of dens of the more social Seraciann wolves? Bane brought his nose down to the myriad of wolf tracks to locate the females scent. He found hers easily enough, and follows it to the packs lake not far from the paw pressed snow of the den sites., Bane took to giving a soft whine and lay down on the windswept snow. "Loccian?"

She had been thinking... thinking about being turned down. A heavy sigh seeped from Loccian's dark lips, the pain in her heart unimaginable. It was almost as bad as being there when Octavian died, the numerous beatings Carrion gave her. Yes, more than those. Loccian? The voice of a male caused the small shewolf to jump, head turning to the side, grey orbs falling upon a familiar face. For a moment she had no idea who it was, just had a feeling she knew him, but then it clicked. Bro... She froze, body growing stiff s she realized who she had almost called him. No, she couldn't. That was done. Shaking her head Loccian turned away from him to look to the frozen water, taking a deep breath. It is good to see you Bane... I was worried you got lost. She said softly, her voice a bit shaky, still having trouble dealing with what had happened the other night. It was playing over and over in her head, no matter how hard she tried to block it or lock it up. Just tormenting her. "normal. talk. think. you." Awesome table by Andy <3

Bane peered across the snow to stare at Loccian from where he lay, the she wolf had a worried look across her muzzle and he began to grow a tad bit concerned. Was she ok?
"Hey you..." The grey wolf gave a somewhat forced smile as he stood up and began to stalk up to his packmate. A smile was going at the mention of how she had hoped the he had not gotten lost amidst he blizzard.

"I could say the same for you, only it's that I didn't lose my sense of direction... if only for a little bit. Its that I lost a packmate. Then I just followed my nose in the morning." Bane reached her side and sniffed both her cheeks in greeting. "You ok? That was quite a blizzard back there. Nothing smells wrong with you."

A small smile formed on the young girl's lips at Bane's comment, turning her head a bit to look to him. She grew shy though as he sniffed her, ears folding back against her head and turning away from him again the slightest. He asked if she was okay, that it was quite a blizzard but nothing smelled wrong with her. Should she tell him? Or should she just keep it to herself, start to bottle things up and remain to herself so that she didn't bother people or become a burden on them. Loccian didn't want that to happen. So with a deep breath she straightened herself out, sitting taller, taking in the sadness from her face and replacing it with a blank one, grey eyes dull. Physically yes, I'm in better condition now than any other time since returning. She finally said after a few moments of silence, her gaze looking across the lake, trailing along the shore then heading out to the center. She wished the snow would be gone, that spring would take over and fill the lands with color and life. Herbs were hard to come by during this time, and there were some she would like to take right about now to deal with the pain in her heart. "normal. talk. think. you." Awesome table by Andy <3

The female gave a faint smile at his comments but remained quiet after he smelled her cheeks. Bane quizzically tilted his head, flummoxed by her lack of a verbal response. Something else was wrong with her. Loccain said she was fine physically Bane planting himself right next to her and stareing out across the lake with her.

"That's good, I was worried about ya catchin' a cold or another sickness. I shouldn't really be worrying about that since your our packs Witchdoctor, but it's good to see you again." Bane spoke with a smile steadily growing across his face.

The grey male was enjoying the silence being shared between himself and the other Seracian wolf, the blooming fellowship between the old Talutah male and his younger packmate was like kindling added to the embers of a fire. Gradual buildup. Then Bane saw the deer. The spindly legged animal drinking along the shore to the right a good kilometer away. "Hey Loccain there's a deer over there." Bane gave an upwards jerk of his muzzle in the direction o the prey animal. "Wanna go get it?"

Loccian smiled at his words, he was worried about her catching a cold, it was nice to know he cared in a way even knowing she was the packs healer. He didn't use that word though, he said witchdoctor. Perhaps that was what they were called in his homeland or wherever he was before being here in Seracia. She would not ask though, perhaps bring it up later since she didn't really know much about him. Her gaze was drifting around, going to her paws, the shore around them, to the water, the sky. So when he brought up the deer her eyes went a bit big just as her grey orbs fell upon the animal drinking at the shore some distance away. Wanna go get it? Her ear twitched at his question, nervousness growing within her and within moments it was clear on her face. Loccian cleared her throat softly, straightening up, tail slowly waving behind her against the ground. It's a bit far isn't it? It would see us coming. She said softly, her voice shaky. The small shewolf had never hunted such a large animal before, all she did go for were little things like birds, rabbits, squirrels, stuff like that. It seemed a bit crazy for her, even with hunting little things it hard, took most of her energy. The woman was never taught how to properly hunt. "normal. talk. think. you." Awesome table by Andy <3

Bane looked at Loccian in an bemused way as he tried not to laugh at look the she-wolf's face was expression. She looked nervous, over a deer of all things. The doe was prey, easy prey despite the somewhat long distance away from it. Bane could easily stalk his way over to it and take the doe down with a little chase if need be.

"Does it have to see us coming? No. I'm going to catch that deer and your welcome to come along. I could use the help. Just stay along the shoreline and scare it towards me." Bane stared down at the smaller wolf with an assuring grin covering his muzzle. And with that he turned with a 'follow me' jerk of his head.

The grey male was going to try and get around that deer. And after he got low against the mountain grass he began to stalk around behind the oblivious animal. Now all he had to do was hope that Loccian brought the animal to him.

Loccian was very nervous, extremely. What was she suppose to do? Bane wanted to catch the deer but she barely had any hunting skills, it was the main reason she became a medic in the first place. She couldn't find herself to tell him this though, didn't want to look like an idiot, and definitely didn't want him to try taking on the animal by himself. She would need to suck it up and do something to make it look like she knew what she was doing, while trying to keep herself from getting injured of course. Does it have to see us coming? No. I'm going to catch that deer and your welcome to come along. I could use the help. Just stay along the shoreline and scare it towards me. Ears twitched at his voice, gulping as she imagined what would happen. She could see him getting close, then the moment she tried driving the beast to him it would turn instead and charge at her. Or she would manage to make it go in a different direction. Both seemed very possible. He gave Loccian an assuring smile but all she could do was force a smile. She was scared. He soon motioned her to follow him, and with reluctant step she followed behind him. Like he said though she stayed on the shore, body low to the ground, creeping forward while the male made his way into the grass to get around the deer. Carefully she moved forward, stopping when the animal would lift its head, then moving on when it looked away or went back to drinking. She made sure to keep her body balanced, placing her paws in the right spot that would make the least noise possible. Within moments she was within the perfect distance, grey orbs looking for Bane in the grasses, waiting for a signal. Sure enough there it was, sending the shewolf to jump up and lunge at the deer to try and spook it into his direction. "normal. talk. think. you." Awesome table by Andy <3

Bane was anxious about Loccain and worried that the she-wolf wouldn't preform well. That the deer would get away. Sure sometimes it happened but these prey animals were well known for being idiots; blind, oblivious, idiots. Loccian made a fake lunge for the animal, the deer bleating it's surprise and headed in the opposite direction away from the female Seracian. Right towards Bane.

The grey male bolted right for the deer and the brilliant animal gave a quick turn and headed right back to the shoreline. Bane came up right behind the cornered deer and tackled the young grazer into the water. A quick breath was given as the wolfs bone-crushingly powerful jaws found the side of the herbivores throat and began to squeeze as he held it's head underwater, the flavor of mixed water and blood entering his maw.

The animal thrashed about as the wolf drowned his prey, its movements coming less and less frequently until finally its body was left brushing up against his chest as the shores mild waves tried to bring the body back to the lakeside.?The juvenile animal was heavy from the water weight as Bane dragged the fresh kill up onto the shore and began to feed.

She was scared, not sure if this deer would turn on her and try pummeling her into the ground with its hooves. Sure she was a wolf, a feared predator, but she was a small one that didn't have too good of fighting or hunting skills. She just hoped it would do what they wanted, saving them trouble. And that's what it did. The deer bleated at her lunge, turning and fleeing, right towards Bane. Loccian quickly followed, not wanting to stand there all useless. She didn't get too close, just far enough to be safe and to make sure the deer saw her and would keep going in the same direction. Grey orbs were focused on the legs of the animal, watching every step. She did not want to get kicked by one of them. Suddenly there was a blur of black, Bane running out of his hiding spot, causing the deer to take a hard turn and headed to the shoreline. Loccian dug her paws into the ground unable to make such a sharp turn, skidding to a stop. Without wasting any time her legs crossed over the other, turning her body and running towards where the two had gone. By time Loccian had ran off to Bane and the deer, her orbs fell upon them just before they made a large splash into the water. Ears shot up, slowing to a stop, watching Bane hold the deer under and latch onto its throat. That's not why she stopped though, the kill... seemed a bit brutal. The animal thrashed around in the water, causing her to flinch away as droplets reached her. But within moments its movements eased, the life drained form it, the blood forming a small cloud in the shallow water. She swallowed, watching him drag the animal from the water. Quickly she realized she had left this all to him, when she didn't want to. So she quickly made her way over, grabbing a limb and helped him drag the dead animal onto the shore then dropping it. She didn't dig in right away though. Instead she just sat there kind of awkwardly, tail curling over her paws, ears back against her head. She had a question for the man, but, she felt like it would be rude to ask while he was eating. So with a sigh the young woman turned her head and leaned over, she would ask once they had their fill. Jaws clamped onto the skin then pulled back, turning her head side to side until the flesh tore. Then she dug in, grabbing large chunks, chewing on them then swallowing. This would be the most she had ever eaten in her life. "normal. talk. think. you." Awesome table by Andy <3

Loccian seemed to have hesitated for a moment when he began dragging their kill up onto the shoreside, however she came down to help him drag it farther up onto the low grass. Bane gave a thankful growl and laid his old body down at the deer's chest and began to tear at the short fur to graze it off to expose the bare skin of the recently deceased animal. Bane gave a split-second glance at Loccian as she started to feed, the Seracian male fighting back the urge to growl.

Bane ate the flesh along the ribs, then tore off three or so o the blocking bone with a twist of head so he could get to the liver. The most energy giving part of an animal. Bane worked his entire head in to the excavated animal as he snapped up coppery flesh and swallow. The liver was gone, so he went for the kidneys. He withdrew his gore streaked head and staggered over a few paces away and flopped to the ground. The wolf was meat drunk, and he loved it as he continued to watch Loccian.

Loccian ate what she could, making sure to stay out of Bane's way as he also ate. Normally she ate small animals so this was a bit awkward for her. Within moments she could fill her belly was full, but she pushed herself to eat more. It wasn't often that she ate something so big.

She couldn't help but smirk though as Bane stumbled away and flopped to the ground, munching down a chunk of meat with a smile. She pulled away smoothly, leg crossing over the other to turn away but for some reason though her leg did not want to keep her up. The shewolf ended up falling forward.

Loccian lay there with her rear up in the air, front half of her body on the ground, front limbs under her. She just lay there, eyes closed and a large grin on her face. "That was goooood." she hummed, back legs pushing her forward, slowly sliding towards Bane.

Bane had watched the smaller she wolf eat her section of deer with an amused twinkle in his eyes, taking to just devouring his side. He was laying on the compressed ground now along the shore and eyed the she-wolf with a blurry gaze. Sleep often came after a meal such as this one, and Bane fought to stay awake while Loccian finished up with a smile and a stagger to her paws.

The Seracian female made a awkward looking step forward but her front half ended up on the ground as she tripped over her own paws. Bane cracked a smile at the accidental play bow he felt he should imitate, but he was too full and too satisfied to do much of anything except sleep against the spongy shore.

Loccian's pose was held a moment before shimmying up towards him with her forepaws and mentioning in a drowsy voice that the deer had been satisfying. The female was obviously meat drunk, her eyes closed and a large grin plastered across her muzzle. Bane mirrored her smile and lay his head against the sand and eyed?the rivulets of blood seep from the deer's corpse and flowing down to the lakeside edge to taint the water's color with a fine red fog. And as he finally closed his eyes, a smiling Loccian coming even closer to him the was last thing that was seen before going to sleep.
